What's the nastiest cookie you've ever tried to make or bake? I won't bore you with the details of why I'm asking this. I am in a peculiar need of some truly terrible recipes. Thanks!
Thank you ladies for your responses. I think I've made every mistake listed here - including the salt for sugar mixup. The dogs wouldn't even eat those! Yuck!
No, my intent with the bad recipe is not to sabatoge anyone. (well, not sabatoge as in 'oh my god i can't believe i just ate that nasty cookie!) My life is not that exciting :( Let me just say that it has a lot to do with being volunteered last year to make 12 dozen frosted cutout cookies for an event. Only for someone else to take them there and put their name on them. Yup. i'm about motivated to slap some jelly on saltines this year and deliver them with a smile on my face. With the other person's name on them. (but gosh, spreading that much jelly is going to take far too much time.)
If it doesn't *sound* good, I don't try to bake/cook it, lol, so I'm sorry - no recipes for you.
But I don't think I would be at all bored by the details of why you're asking!
:-)
"Bad" cookie recipe or "absolutely inedible, wouldn't serve them to my worst enemy" cookie recipe?
Once used salt instead of sugar. 'Nuff said.
Also, once, accidentally dropped entire ball of cookie dough onto carpet. Thought "5 second rule!!" and baked them up anyway - hey, they were only for myself. Cookies were fuzzy from carpet fibers. Had to dump them. Blech.
only if you tell us why. We're already bored. That's why we're on here - yes we want to hear your boring old details.
Thinking baking soda and baking powder are the same....
Hmmm.
Are you trying to get back at a relative or something?
I would want no part of that.
Don't ask me how it could happen, but I know a couple of people who have accidentally added salt as opposed to sugar. That can certainly ruin a batch of cookies.
Anything burnt. Even the best reciped cookies are not good if burnt.
MIL was making snickerdoodles one time and she accidentally dropped a whole egg in the mixing bowl while the mixer was running. She can NOT waste food (almost consider her a food hoarder!) soooooo she baked them anyway!!! FIL said every cookie had egg shells in them! LOL Why would you bake that and worse-why would you eat that?! Does this help? Good luck and keep us posted :)
I can't stand those Mexican cookies, that are dry, hard, covered in white sugar...Yuk, yuk, yuk. I think they are called Mexican wedding cakes. I love Mexican food, but not their pastries. They are all terribly dry.
The reason I don't like them is that the original recipes are made with pig lard and you cannot hide the aroma of pig lard.
Tried cookies which included potato chips (you can google the recipe), they were nasty.
Good luck to you and yours,
F. B.
Every year my great grandmother would make these refrigerator cookies (roll the dough into logs and then refrigerate overnight, cut in the morning). They were made with almonds and when baked they were hard as a rock.
I have no idea why she baked them every year. They were AWFUL. Ugh.
She also baked another nutty cookie that was then rolled in powdered sugar. And another that had the nasty candied cherries you put in fruitcake baked in the center.
I know many people in our family raved over her cookies, but in the back of my mind I've always been sure that they just did it so as not to hurt her feelings!
I don't know about bad cookies - but google showed me this and I may never recover! LOL :)
I made a chocolate chip recipe once using the FAKE Crisco!!! Oh my gosh - I was trying to save a few cents; well never again!!!!
My husband and I are known for our chocolate chip cookies but these were absolutely horrible!!!! They even smelled weird!!! And what was worse, I took them to a Scout meeting; I was so embarrassed!!!!
You're going to have to update us and let us know what you're up to!! lol!!
Good luck!!
The first time I ever made chocolate chip cookies, I added way too much baking soda. Basically instead of a teaspoon/tablespoon, I put in a cup (don't recall exact measurements...). They tasted awful!
Forgetting the flour completely. Didn't realize it until the cookies came out of the oven. Finally figured out why they weren't cookies but one buttery spread out mess.
My chocolate chip cookies almost fell into this category the other day. The batter was dry, dry, dry and I couldn't figure out why ... until I realized I left out the eggs!
It was a cake. When we were kids, we baked a chocolate birthday cake for my mom. Apparently you cannot leave out the flour in the cake and also substitute granulated sugar for confectioner's in the icing. It is highly likely that the recipe itself was fine.
oh I have to know, PLease PLease tell us what this if for.
i don't love oatmeal raisin cookies does taht count. Im pretty good with anything else with sugar in it.
edited my brain was working slow last night, I just knew there was a good movie reference in this post-- finally thought if it. THE HELP!!
My grandma always had at least 5 different kinds of cookies on hand - she'd freeze so there was always a variety. I grabbed what I thought was chocolate chip and it was actually date...ugh...
